Both are featured prominently in the fun YouTube video and advertising campaign produced to support the launch of the door, with Alice also making a guest appearance in the Hörmann Christmas video message. Commenting on his recent fame Alex MacKay said: “It’s all been a lot of fun, but you have to keep your feet on the ground and concentrate on the day job, celebrity can’t get in the way of supporting Hörmann products in the market. However, I would consider other offers - I understand that they are looking a new James Bond, so who knows!” Meanwhile, Alice has been perfecting her door fitting skills and planning future appearances to support the RollMatic T door – watch this space. Since the launch of the RollMatic T roller door, feedback from both end consumers and installers has confirmed that it really is easy to fit and transport, whilst not compromising the high-quality standards expected from Europe’s leading garage door manufacturer. The RollMatic T looks set to become a real superstar in the Hörmann portfolio.

Established in 1989, Secured by Design (SBD) is the flagship security accreditation that has instant industry recognition. Created by the Police Force in the UK to support the designing out of crime, the accreditation means that the Hörmann doors have undergone stringent security and safety tests to ensure they have been manufactured and designed from the start with the security of the customer in mind. With increasing numbers of homeowners using their garages for storage, or for garages converted into leisure or living areas, SBD means peace of mind. Hörmann sectional doors have been designed to prevent and discourage criminal intrusion and vandalism. This has been verified through independent testing which involved a prolonged brute force attack, demonstrating the strength and robust nature of the door. Impressively, the Hörmann sectional doors passed in their standard format with no modifications or additions required and SBD applies to the full range of sizes available. For the accreditation to be valid the doors should be installed behind the brickwork and not include any glazing options or external handles. Once fitted the installation will need to be registered with Hörmann to obtain the SBD certification. Mark Stoddart, Senior Product and Support Engineer at Hörmann UK said: “This is an important achievement for Hörmann and once again demonstrates our commitment to supply the highest quality garage doors into the UK market. “The Secured by Design accreditation sets us apart from the rest of the market and provides our dealers with a unique benefit when selling to the end consumer, who are increasingly looking for products that provide added security to their homes. Once again, we can say with confidence ‘Only from Hörmann’.” For further information on Hörmann UK Sectional doors visit www.hormann.co.uk/home- owners-and-renovators/garage-doors/sectional-garage-doors/ or call 01530 516868
